Zoned Properties Eliminates Current Debt, Retires $1 Million of Convertible Notes

Closes a $2 Million Private Placement with Notes Convertible at $5 Per Share to Strengthen Balance Sheet and Fund Growth Initiatives

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoned Properties, Inc. (OTCQX: ZDPY), a strategic real estate development firm whose primary mission is to identify, develop, and lease sophisticated, safe, and sustainable properties in emerging industries, including the licensed medical marijuana industry, today announced the Company has retired $1 million of convertible notes due to mature in August 2017 with a portion of the proceeds from a $2.02 million private placement transaction and a $2.125 million property sale which occurred in January 2017 and March 2017, respectively.

“Retiring and replacing higher cost debt with longer-term financing at an attractive cost of capital lowers our quarterly costs of debt service and puts in place a capital structure that better supports our ongoing property development projects for the long-term,” commented Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties. “As a result of the private placement and sale of one of our Tempe properties, we have lowered our cost of unsecured debt by 100 basis points and extended maturities. 100% of our total debt outstanding now matures in 2022.”

Under the terms of a private placement transaction, in January 2017, the Company issued $2.02 million in five-year convertible notes paying quarterly interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum. A portion of the net proceeds of $1.06 million, excluding transaction costs and other related expenses, was used to repay the Company’s two convertible notes issued in August 2014 for $1 million, in aggregate, and accrued interest of approximately $96,000. The newly placed 2017 convertible notes may be converted at the holder’s option at a conversion price of $5.00 per share.

The 2014 convertible notes, which bore an interest rate of 7% per annum and provided a conversion feature to the Company’s common stock at $5.00 per share, were scheduled to mature in August 2017.
